In Texas, many people claim it's Austin but I feel El Paso is the one that's out of place. Austin feels more like the "cool kid" that everyone wants to be like while El Paso is more like the outcast nobody wants to follow.

Well when you're about 600+ miles away from ever other major city in the state . . .

There is more of what I would think a Eastern seaboard feel would be , although I have never been there. But with the large ships and seafaring atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in Minnesota.

My husband, son and I went to Duluth when some Tall Ships came for the first time ever about 10-15 years ago. It was something. They had such a huge turnout they were overwhelmed. We waited 4 hours to see them. They come every summer since then.

Biloxi, Mississippi and Mobile, Alabama feel very different the rest of their states. Particularly the presence of Biloxi as a modern casino resort area in a state seen as very conservative and traditional and old-timey. Also many people don't even think of Mississippi and Alabama as coastal states and forgot their shoreline there.

In a lot of ways, I feel El Paso is the most Texan of the major cities, or stereotypical Texan.

El Paso feels more like the stereotypical Texas portrayed in the media, with a desert background and cowboys. Whereas Fort Worth is more representative of the state as a whole. El Paso, IMO, feels more like a New Mexico city than the other major Texas cities.
